The apheresis process separates the autologous blood into platelet rich plasma (PRP) and platelet poor plasma (PPP). The PPP is manually drawn off to leave PRP. This produces a product available for injection back into the patient. Included in the procedure are the venipuncture, preparation of the blood and centrifuge / separation / mixing / activation processes. This is needed to obtain a solution to stimulate the body to re-initiate the healing inflammatory processes.
